Location

The José Manuel Figueiredo Cultural Forum is located in Baixa da Banheira, a town integrated into the urban area of Baixa da Banheira and Vale da Amoreira, in the municipality of Moita. Its location is a landmark in this community, resulting from an urban revitalization project that aimed to equip the area with a modern and accessible cultural facility.

From Cine Parque to Cultural Center

This space, inaugurated in 2005, resulted from the transformation and recovery of the old Cine Parque of Baixa da Banheira. For over three decades, Cine Parque was an emblematic place in the cultural and social life of Baixa da Banheira and the entire municipality. The municipal intervention gave it a new vocation, maintaining its legacy as a central point for cultural gathering and enjoyment.

A Hub of Artistic Diversity

The José Manuel Figueiredo Cultural Forum presents itself as a vibrant hub for culture, learning, and contemporary artistic expression. Its programming is designed to offer visitors a diverse and high-quality experience, with a particular focus on areas such as music, theatre, dance, and cinema, promoting access to various artistic and cultural manifestations.

Facilities and Spaces

This facility is multifaceted, designed to host a wide range of cultural activities. It includes an auditorium with a capacity for 307 people, ideal for shows and conferences. Complementing this space are a gallery dedicated to exhibitions, which promotes visual art, and a bar/café-concert, providing an inviting atmosphere for social gatherings. The Forum also includes a branch of the municipal library network, reinforcing its role as a center for knowledge and sharing within the community.
